CBS Ignores Possible 2016 Dem Candidate's 'Gaydar' Assertions on Cantor

[For more, see video cross-posted at NewsBusters.] All three networks on Wednesday morning skipped a gaffe by a possible 2016 Democratic presidential candidate. In an interview with National Journal, former Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer asserted that Republican Congressman Eric Cantor set off his "gaydar" and that southern men are "effeminate." The silence contrasts greatly to how the networks pounced on a gaffe by Todd Akin in 2012. Only CBS This Morning offered the story any attention. Co-host Charlie Rose noted that Schweitzer may have "put his foot in his mouth."  He explained, "The former Montana governor lashes out at California Senator Dianne Feinstein for criticizing the CIA. Schweitzer accuses her of being, quote, 'a nun' when it comes to spying." The slams against southerners and the GOP majority leader went unmentioned. CBS's entire story lasted 15 seconds.
